What I expect from Jets D vs Bills O:
CodeMonkey replied to SJDK's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he blitzes less than normal, it's a sign I think that he doesn't believe Josh can beat them with his arm. -
Out all summer on concussion protocol, his 4th documented one in the NFL. Second round draft pick a few years back. IR late season 2017 for a apparently recurring foot issue. To make that statement your crystal ball gets better reception than mine
-
Can't judge anything by preseason really, but it's all there is. Tough to declare the O-Line better in that environment as well. We'll see very soon. But at the very least, they shouldn't be any worse.

I put my future bets in on the Bills season today
CodeMonkey replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seriously only 3.5 to 1 of the Bills making the playoffs? Would have expected significantly higher than that. -
Yeah I can see where you are coming from. I just didn't see anything in preseason that leads me to declare the O-Line is markedly better. That, IMO. will decide this season for the Bills one way or the other. Well that and Allen taking a nice big step up
-
Taking off the red and blue blinders ... How have the Bills improved? Allen in 2nd year like Darnold. Replaced one aging RB for another. OLine *may* be better but who knows (certainly not a lock), Picked up Beasley in the slot, otherwise receiving is probably a wash, D is about the same (hard to go up much from last year). They probably are looking at this season. Their assessment is just different than yours. And quite frankly, everyone is guessing at this point.
-
Shouldn't be. His age and decline in performance coupled with the contract would make any GM cringe. Add to the mix that they figured the Bills would release Shady, so if any GM wanted him, they'd get him a hell of a lot cheaper than trading and assuming the contract.
-
Likely no other GM wanted Shady's contract. Now that he's released he will get picked up by a team making a run this season when their RB gets hurt. He won't make nearly as much money, but could net him a ring. I wish him the best.

I think the wait might actually be over.
CodeMonkey replied to The Bills Blog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There have been these "Something feels different now." threads every year for many years. It's cool that you feel that way, and why not enjoy your Bills fandom. But you might want to see how it feels after a few games when teams are trying to win before you go too far -
No matter how nice of a stadium the Pegulas build, and how nice of a facelift they give parts of the city. It is still Buffalo NY. Low incomes and slow economy dictate how much money fans can afford for a 8 day a season entertainment package. Bills fans are some of the most loyal in the league, but at the end of the day, you can't get blood from a stone. If the league decides revenue trumps fan loyalty, that will be that. For Bills fans everywhere, I hope that day never comes.

One Boston Team down....
CodeMonkey replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, I guess if you call losing in the finals "one team down". Where have the Sabres been since the final game of the regular season? -
McDermott and the Golden State Warriors
CodeMonkey replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Too much actually. When KD went down with a injury, the Toronto fans were applauding. The Raps players had to tell then to act like they have some class. -
Training Camp Likely More Abbreviated This Year
CodeMonkey replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Its actually quite simple. The players stay on site during camp, they stay in the dorms. That makes them readily available for impromptu meetings, provides a team environment for them to live, eat, and play as a group and not go home every night. The have state of the art equipment and facilities there, because the Bills provide them. And as mentioned, a lot of PR value. Multiple reasons to be there with few to none not to. Plus the owners wife/president has big ties to Rochester. Do the math -
When did “Defense End” become “Edge Rusher?”
CodeMonkey replied to BillyWhiteShows's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Probably ever since it became a pass-first league. -
Bills 2019 schedule officially released
CodeMonkey replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All 1PM games except for one (maybe 2). LOVE IT! Not sure how anyone can view this as a non-favorable schedule. Last years records of this years opponents. Interesting too how the Bills play in the same stadium 2 weeks in a row and it's not the Ralph NYJ 4-12 NYG 5-11 Bengals 6-10 Pats 11-5 * Titans 9-7 * Fish 7-9 Eagles 9-7 * Skins 7-9 Browns 7-8-1 Denver 6-10 Cowgirls 10-6 * Ravens 10-6 * Steelers 9-6 * Combined 100-106-1 6 opponents over .500 (1 we play twice) -
The NFL never misses an opportunity to extract money from its fanbase.
